Niels Bohr, postulated of module an atom on the basis of quantum theory. Each orbit is associated with definite energy and therefore called as energy shell or energy level. These energy levels are numbered starting from the nucleus as 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on or K, L, M, N. These integers are called the quantum no of the orbits. As long as electron remains in energy level it does not radiate energy. Electron gets promoted to higher energy level by absorbing a quantum of energy. Electron looses energy when an electron jumps from a higher energy level (E2) to a lower energy level (E1). In such a case energy E2-E1 is given out as radiation.
